Can anybody explain difference between first and second call of the same web page pointed to same mod perl location. The test was done on a windows xp machine running Apache server version 2.2.11, mod perl version 2.0.4 using perl version 5.10.0

Both scripts cgi-bin script wc.pl and mod perl script Apache2/Hello.pm list bookmarks from the word document. When mod perl script is invoked first time after http server started it fails with an error message: "can't locate object method "GetObject" via package "Win32::OLE" " In the case when cgi-bin address is requested first then mod perl script runs just fine. I'm wondering why mod perl script fails first time is invoked. any suggestion
